Today is the day I can now show the finished bears&boxes piece I have been working on. The concept, provided by the recipient, turned out to be a very fitting name as well.
The front of the was one of those situations that could succeed or fail if you don’t hold your mouth right. I held my breath quite a lot.
This slightly angled photo shows one of my favorite details of this piece.
Here’s a close up of it – a sign for tickets!
The back – with all the tiny raised painted stars.
Here’s the left side of the open box – with various acts performing.
This photo shows the tightrope walkers (potion bottles) and the circus wagon with various ‘fairy’ animals.
The right side of the box has it’s own performers
– including the fairy Yellophants with wings
and the aerialists that are also fairies.
Here’s the fairy bear that occupies center stage in the
Fairy Halloween Circus.
I decided to add glitter to her wings and in a few other places throughout the circus.
Here’s the complete box open with all the performers from tightrope walkers to monkey gymnast to flying Yellophants and a fairy bear.
It was fun being under the big top!
Oh WOW!!!!! Just perfect. I adore your fairy bear. So much work with your yellophants, money and dancing ladies. I think the part I really, really like is the front of the box. Wonderful
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece ginger, I know the recipient will be chuffed to bits with it. My favourite part is the tightrope walking potions :0) it reminds me if something that could be in the Wesleys joke shop!
ReplyDeleteAs always, just delightful and sooooo creative!
ReplyDeleteHI Ginger, what an imagination you have! This is, as ever, imaginative and beautifully executed.
